Protest the Hero play jarring, progressive metal full of mindbending solos and impossible musicianship, so it's no surprise that singer Rody Walker reached out to a similarly gifted outfit for his Bang of the Week. No, Walker didn't give props to Dream Theater or Dillinger Escape Plan, he screamed praise to a band that seems to be the hottest dark horse contender to come along since Horse the Band. We're talking, of course, about Symphony X, whose video for "Set the World on Fire" received such strong feedback on the Headbangers Blog it was subsequently aired on MTV2's Headbangers Ball. Power to the people, and all. Keep setting the world on fire, guys.
"I picked that because I've never seen a Symphony X music video, and from what I've seen in pictures of them, they're pretty hilarious looking guys," Walker said. "Beyond that, It's also a f--king awesome song. And also, Russell Allan is pretty much the greatest singer ever."
